A Russian missile corvette was attacked in the Gulf of Finland.

Ukraine’s strike on the Russian missile warship “Naro-Fominsk” in the Gulf of Finland marks a new and significant stage in the war. Ukrainian UAVs now pose a threat to Russia in the Baltic Sea as well. This is discussed in an article The Telegraph.

Recently, Ukraine attacked not only the Russian Federation’s key port of Ust-Luga on the Baltic Sea but also the Russian warship *Naro-Fominsk*. The Russian Navy’s missile corvette was forced to make an emergency exit from the Gulf of Finland and take shelter in port.

The strike took place approximately 45 km off the coast of Finland.

“We know that smoke rose from the ship after the strike. It returned to St. Petersburg,” said Estonian Defense Minister Martin Herem.

Finnish officials, commenting on the strike, noted that it was a direct consequence of Russia’s aggression. Military officials in Helsinki discussed the situation with Kyiv, warning that important undersea cables are located in the Gulf of Finland and that there is active commercial shipping in the area.
